REPORT AND HIGHLIGHTS: Match in the balance at Edgbaston

30-Aug-2013

Laurie Evans rode to Warwickshire's rescue when making 137 to avert a crisis in the LV= County Championship Division One clash with Sussex at Edgbaston.

Sussex were bowled out for a first innings score of 311 in the morning with loan signing Maurice Chambers taking 5-68. In reply Warwickshire's top order crumbled as Steve Magoffin claimed his 50th and 51st wickets of the season without conceding a run.

With three batsmen dismissed for ducks, Warwickshire needed a major performance by Evans as they trimmed the deficit to 59 on closing the second day at 252 for six. 3 wickets for Magoffin, and a wicket a piece for Jordan, Anyon and Nash leaves the game very much in the balance heading into Day Three.
